the water brew through the machine two times without coffee, following  
the instructions. This will thoroughly clean the unit.

espresso/cappuccino maker into a 120V AC electrical outlet.  
2. Remove the safety lid by turning it counter-clockwise and remove  
from the appliance.  
3. For espresso fill carafe to two or four cups of cold water, using the  
markings on the carafe for reference.For cappuccino, fill the carafe  
to

Pour water into the water reservoir.  
4. Close the safety lid tightly by turning clockwise.  
5. Remove the filter basket and holder from the espresso/cappucci-  
no maker by turning clockwise. With the measuring spoon,  
measure espresso coffee and place into the filter basket. (Do not  
compress/tap the coffee.)  
NOTE: Be sure to use coffee which is MEDIUM TO FINE GROUND.  
6. Place the filter basket into the filter holder.  
7. Pull back the tab and insert the filter holder into the brewing head  
lock aligning the arrow on the filter holder with the  
on the  
machine. Push the filter holder upward so it will be aligned with the  
matching slots. Turn handle counter-clockwise until securely  
locked. Place the cover on the carafe and return the carafe to the  
drip plate. Align hole in lid under filter.  
8. Switch the function knob to “BREW.”  
9. After approximately four minutes, espresso coffee will flow into the  
carafe.  
NOTE: For cappuccino, refer immediately to the Making Cappuccino  
section.  
10. Do not open the safety lid or remove the filter holder during the  
brewing process – scalding may occur.

Making Cappuccino  
1. Cappuccino is a mixture of espresso coffee, milk and frothed milk.  
Fill a deep, narrow metal pitcher 1/2 full with fresh, cold milk and  
set next to the espresso/cappuccino maker.  
2. Place the frothing booster tip up over the end of the steam jet.  
Follow Steps 1 through 9 on page 4 for making espresso.  
3. When the coffee starts to flow into the carafe, hold the pitcher by  
the handle and bring up to the steam jet. Insert froth booster  
tip just under the surface of the milk. Turn the function knob  
gradually to  
and froth the milk. Move the pitcher in a  
slightly circular motion.  
REMINDER: Before frothing milk, make sure the tip of the froth  
boother tip is just under the surface of the milk. Otherwise, splat-  
tering may occur.  
4. After frothing, turn the function knob to “BREW,to allow the  
appliance to complete the espresso making process.  
5. Remove the pitcher from the steam jet.  
6. When the coffee has stopped flowing into the carafe, turn the  
function knob to the “OFF” position.  
7. BEFORE REMOVINGTHE FILTER HOLDER ORTHE SAFETY  
LID,TURNTHE FUNCTION KNOBTO  
AND WAIT UNTIL  
NO FURTHER STEAM EMERGES FROM THE STEAM JET.  
This will allow any extra steam to be released and will clean the  
steam jet of any excess milk. Then turn the function knob back to  
the “OFF” position.  
8. Serve the hot, frothy milk by spooning it on top of your cup of  
espresso. The froth will not readily pour from the container, since  
it separates from the heated milk.  
The best frothed milk is obtained when fresh, cold, skim milk is used.  
When frothing milk, the volume of milk will double.  
The top half will be frothed, the bottom half will be milk. Fill a cappuc-  
cino cup 1/3 full of freshly brewed espresso coffee. Pour in an equal  
amount of warm milk and top with frothed milk.

will accumulate and affect the operation of your machine.  
Approximately every six months (this can vary depending on water  
conditions and frequency of use), your espresso/cappuccino maker  
should be cleaned with distilled vinegar in the following manner in  
order to remove the mineral deposits, also referred to as scale.  
1. Before cleaning your espresso/cappuccino maker, make sure the  
function knob is in the “OFF” position and the appliance has  
been disconnected from the wall outlet.
